Dec 6 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc and Apple Inc
have partnered to bring the Amazon Prime Video app to
Apple TV in over 100 countries, the companies said on Wednesday.

The news comes a day after Alphabet Inc's Google
said it would block its video streaming application YouTube from
two of Amazon's devices and criticized the online retailer for
not selling Google hardware.

Apple's Chief Executive Tim Cook had said in June that
Amazon's streaming service would be available on Apple devices
later this year.

Apple TV, a device for watching television over the
internet, would also start featuring live sports this week,
Apple said in a blogpost on Wednesday. (http://apple.co/2AditE7)

The announcement follows a negotiation stretching back at
least to 2015 when Amazon stopped selling Apple TVs on its
retail site.
